On Friday, Serbian students started blocking traffic in the center of Belgrade, where they are protesting the irregularities in the parliamentary elections and asking the competent ministry to open the voter lists.
The gathered people carry banners with the inscriptions “To collect all the loot, they won’t be able to buy us”, “Let the students go”, “He took our dignity” and occasionally shout “Thieves”, “Who stole the votes”, and at the intersection of Birčaninova and Kneza Miloš Street they set up a tent.
Days after the elections, Serbia is facing the dissatisfaction of a part of the citizens gathered around the opposition coalition “Serbia against violence”, which organizes protests in Belgrade and demands a repeat of the elections because they doubt their regularity.
The demands of the opposition are also supported by the informal group Borba-Students against Violence, which blocked the Ministry of State Administration and Local Self-Government on three occasions this week, demanding access to the voter list due to suspicion of thousands of registered so-called phantom voters.
The participants of the blockade announced that they would let emergency vehicles through, and the leaders of the Ecological Uprising and the Democratic Party, Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta and Zoran Lutovac, were also present at the rally, reports Beta news agency reports.
As they announced earlier, the blockade will last 24 hours until December 30 at noon, when they plan to join the protest announced by representatives of “ProGlas”, an initiative launched before the elections, signed by more than 190,000 citizens.
Numerous irregularities in the election process, apart from the opposition, were also pointed out by international observers on Monday, and thousands of people are gathering in the center of Belgrade in a protest in support of the opposition to clarify the question of the actual results of the elections in the Serbian capital, whose regularity they doubt.
Also, the United States of America called on Serbia to investigate allegations by international observers about election irregularities.
